This week we've been talking about power and all the ways politicians manipulate you to handing it over to them.
CLICK HERE for the first two segments of the week.
Today we talked about the power of the false choice.
Politicians only present you with choice A or choice B and leave the rest of the alphabet out of it. The thing is, both A and B are terrible choices. They never want you to consider C. Why? Because if you give them permission by choosing A or B, you can't complain.
We laid it out at 7:00:

Machiavelli:
"For the wounds and every other evil that men inflict upon themselves spontaneously, and of their own choice, are in the long run less painful than those inflicted by others."
This also ties into the importance of principles we've been stressing for a while. If we don't take the time to define our principles, then the left will define them for us. For instance, the left wants more money to support our kids and teachers. Therefore, you hate our kids and teachers. The left wants to raise taxes to hire more police officers. Therefore, you hate our police officers. The left wants government run healthcare. Therefore, you hate sick people.
This is how it looks if we don't define all the ways we support our kids, teacher, police officers, the poor and the sick. We need to do that so we win the logic battle, otherwise the left will win the emotion battle.
Don't let anyone else define your principles for you by not defining them yourself! And always, when presented with choice A or choice B, look for choice C.
